Testosterone: in males, stimulates the growth of the male sex organs in the fetus and the development of the male sex characteristics during puberty. In general, females' sexual desire spikes slightly around ovulation, when women are most fertile, and males can also be affected by this spike, ...
The SARS-CoV-2-ACE2 interaction links viral pathogenesis to the function of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). In the brain, there are a circulating RAS and a local one. The former exerts its effect in circumventricular organs that lack the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and project to nuclei...
The vagus nerve is the body’s longest nerve, relaying messages between the intestines and the brain while touching many organs in between. It is thought to be a major way that psychobiotics exert influence on the brain. Dr. Ted Dinan’sresearch supports this. ...

This is a deterioration process that leads to the decay of tissues and organs, and that, in the case of annual, biennial and/or monocarpic plants, leads to the death of the plant itself. The main function of leaf senescence is nutrient recycle and, since this confers an adaptive advantage...
Data that mercury, lead, and copper induce de novo synthesis of CYP1A1 mRNA, which is AhR dependent[32], further confirm this finding. Changes in AhR and AhR-related genes induced by these metals affect reactivity to other exogenous[29, 31, 33] or endogenous ligands[27]. Cd also ...
C-Cells (also known as parafollicular cells) are found in the thyroid and produce the hormone calcitonin. Tumours originating from the C-cells include medullary thyroid cancer, and mutations in the RET proto-oncogene are often found in patients. Aromatase inhibitors Inhibitors of oestrogen production...
